Has anyone got any experiences, good or bad, concerning the A3000T and the toaster. Will it work? reliably? new power supply reqd? Is that all? etc.. thx.

Hi, I'm an Amiga 3000 "T" owner and have tried to install the Toaster in the computer. First it did fit after some doing, but the chassey still covered input 1. Then when I tried to install the software it loaded but when run the system, I received a message saying that the "GPI SYSTEM WOULD NOT INITIALIZE". I'm not sure what is causing this. I would be very interested in other problems since I really would like to use my toaster for 3D animation and Lightave 3d. Rendering, Rick Melges

Rick: I'm using the Toaster in my 3000T without any problem. Make sure you have the latest revision of the Super Denise and version 2 of the Toaster software. Regards Charles

I thought the Toaster did not work with Super Denise.

Leslie: > I thought the Toaster did not work with Super Denise. The latest version of the Super Denise works with vesions 1.0 and 2.0 of the Toaster software under AD 1.3 or 2.0. Regards Charles

That's interesting. Is there any way of telling if one has the version of Denise that will work with the Toaster?

Hi Charles, What Super Denise would that be? What date? or what ever? I'm not too sure where I could get one? Do you use the "T" for Single Frame Animation? Rendering in N.C. Rick Melges

Rick: > What Super Denise would that be? What date? or what ever? I think it's Denise 8373, Revision D. > I'm not too sure where I could get one? I just ordered it from my dealer. > Do you use the "T" for Single Frame Animation? I plan too. I'm still in the process of deciding on which recorder to get. I'm also awaiting Nucleus' Personal Editor. Regards Charles

thanks for the info, charles [D [D [Doops i,m still trying to get used to this modem stuff. Anyway, I was going to say that we use a VO-9850 3/4"SP deck for our animations using the toaster on a A2000 with a BCD 5000 and it looks awsome. Very clean.

Suresh, I'm using a Toaster in a Tower and it works flawlessly. The way I have it installed requires NO modification to to Toaster or the Tower. I am also using a G-Force 040 board and it just SCREAMS! LightWave renderings are consistently 40% faster tahn my Progressive 040 in a 2000. I've been using it for single framing and it is definitely my rendering machine of choice. –John

When using Lightwave 3D with the 040 in your Amiga 2000 did you renamed the lightwave.ffp file to lightwave on your Hard drive!? I no, your toaster thought that there were no math co-processor! – Pat, Whapping from Quebec City!
